RAGIN' REVIEW: The Main Squeeze - B.B. King's Blues Club

"...in a modern live music scene that seems to lack the classic “frontman” on vocals that was so prevalent in rock & roll throughout the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, The Main Squeeze thrives on Corey Frye’s epic voice, which allows the rest of the members to focus on the instrumentals. The resulting powerhouse of musical expertise allows for a combination of Western genres that forms the ultimate dance party."
